Finally, a ni-cad cell can be left connected to a 1/10R charger
indefinitely with no ill effects.

I do not believe this to be true.
Digi-Key lists NiCds *specifically designed* to be left on the charger
when
not in use. If what you said was true,this would not be necessary.
My own experience also shows it to be false.

Digi-Key does not make the batteries; they only sell them. This claim of
unique capability is only sales talk. They claim a special benefit which
is, in fact, common to all ordinary NiCads -- a widespread practice with
sales people.

Bulls..t.
It's not "sales talk",it's in their printed catalog.
